A parasite is a unicellular or multicellular organism that is dependent on another organism (host) for its survival and proliferation. The parasite benefits from a prolonged association with its host (Loker & Hofkin, 2015), as without it, the parasite cannot grow and multiply. Thus, parasites must keep their host alive for as long as possible without killing it, yet their infection may cause diseases and, in some cases, like malaria, even mortality.Three main classes of parasites can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. The former are unicellular eukaryotic parasites (e.g., Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei), whereas the helminths are parasitic worms (e.g., Schistosoma haematobium and Fasciola hepatica), and the ectoparasites, organisms that infest the host skin (e.g., Haemaphysalis longicornis and Sarcoptes scabiei). These classes of parasites are master manipulators whose life cycles feature unique adaptions, involving sophisticated strategies to alter the host environment, including the secretion of multipurpose extracellular vesicles (EVs) (Coakley et al., 2015;Ofir-Birin & Regev-Rudzki, 2019).EVs are heterogeneous in terms of size (30-500 nm in diameter) and transfer functional signals to target cells by carrying a cornucopia of different molecules, such as proteins, glycans, lipids, RNA and DNA (Schorey et al., 2015;Tkach & Théry, 2016). Since the release of EVs is an integral part of a parasite's life cycle and course of the infection, it stands to reason that these organelles are essential for their survival. Indeed, these shuttling vesicles provide a robust delivery system to facilitate parasitic growth and development, the transfer of virulence factors, adherence to host tissues, and evasion of immune responses (Mardahl et al., 2019;Ofir-Birin et al., 2017). They effectively manipulate the host's immune system by inhibiting or activating responses as well as by affecting a variety of other (non-immune) target human cells (
